I enter my room and saw a letter on my bed, with my name written on it. I picked it up and open it, that familiar hand writing of Jeremy.
My heart leap in fear, how did he always manage to get his notes inside the mansion.
*Nancy, I gave you a week…
It’s almost time up, why is she still breathing? Do something about her or I might take matters into my hands!!…. Right, and I’m coming back to the mansion soon,,,,to see my son*
My hands shake as I read each words.
What does he mean by taking matters in his hands? And why is he coming to the mansion? Why is he coming back?
No, I need to tell Ian the truth,,now is the time to tell him.
I squeezed the paper and throws it roughly in a corner and head out.
*******
I met with Ian downstairs, I frown when I take in his outfit.
He only had a towel wrap around his waist, this is the first time he’s seen like this,, and I wonder why.
“Ian?”
He turns around quickly.
“Good morning, Mom”
“Why are you in your towel outside your room?”
“I was kicked out”
“Kicked out? Who is bold enough to kick you out of your room?”
He rolls his eyes.
“Who else but Phoebe”
I smile, my son is a lovesick puppy.
Then I remembered Jeremy’s note, I came here with the intention to tell him the truth but seeing him now I don’t think I should tell him now.
I’m afraid of what his reaction would be.
“Mom, you’ve been sighing, do you wanna say something?”
I blinked and shake my head.
“Oh!”
Maybe I can find out if he’s gonna take it well if I do tell him, but how? Wait,,,, I should use someone as example, maybe,,,,, Pho-ebe!
“Ian?”
“Yes, Mom”
“I wanna ask you a question”
“Ok”
I clear my throat.
” If,,,, I mean if, you find out that Phoebe is cheating on you with Javier what are you gonna do?”
His shoulder tensed, his eyes turns black and his hand form into hard fists.
“They wouldn’t dare, or I will forget the fact that Javier is my brother and kill him, then I will keep phoebe alive and show her what betrayal feels like!”
“But what if was a drunk and depressing night”
“No matter how drunk or depressed she is, she should know who her man is. It shouldn’t be an excuse for her to cheat!”
I stayed silent for a moment, I didn’t know what to do now.
“What if a son finds out his mother had him for his uncle, what do you think will be his reaction”
His jaw clenched and his eyes narrowed.
“I don’t know about other people, but if I were him I’d hate her forever and cut off all ties with her, she doesn’t deserve to be a mother!”
Cold chills run down my spine and I gulp loudly. I don’t think I can ever tell him the truth,,, he doesn’t know it’s us that’s actually in the situation and yet he’s angry.
How can I tell him?
Maybe I should just run away like I have been doing all these years,,,,, but Phoebe, that innocent girl.
A finger snapped in my face and I blinked back to reality.
“Mom, you look scared, why?”
“Nothing” I said with a forced smile. “I have something to do in my room, I’m gonna go”
“Ok, ma”
I rushed before he can suspect anything.
I’m a coward,, a big coward.

I sigh frustratingly.
This is the hundredth time I’m dialing Britt’s number but she ain’t picking up,,,, giving up calling her, I decided to send her a message instead.
*Meet me at the mall this evening after your shift*
I tossed the phone on the bed as I count the picked up Dean’s black card on the bed, a small note next to it.
*Buy whatever you want angel, bit make sure it’s something I’m gonna Approve of!*
I scoffed. I don’t think I’m the one he’s ordering, I will buy what I want and I like, I will also go to the club without him.
I don’t know why fate matched me with this unromantic, old fashioned man!
I look at the card and smile, I kssed it.
“Baby, it’s you and I today!”
I giggled happily, pouncing on the bed.

“General, your car is ready!” Brandon reports from outside Ian’s door.
“I’ll be right there” Ian replies.
“Ok, sir” Brandon leaves.
Ian wrap his name around Aurora’s waist as she does his tie.
“My Phoebe, are you sure you aren’t gonna come with me?”
“Yes! I’m not coming, mostly because I will die of boredom” she replied.
Ian inhale deeply and exhale softly.
“Well, let you drop you off at the mall”
“No, you have something to do and it needs your urgent attention”
“I want to,,,,, ”
She close his mouth.
“Don’t worry, Dean, Britt is coming with me”
“Fine” he said.
He presses her body more into him and give her a brief but sweet kss.
“Walk me to the door?” He asked softly.
“Ok”
With his arms still around her waist, they both head out. They met Javier right at the bottom of the stairs, he’s whistling happily and was also doing a fun tap dancing.
Aurora laughs at his funny moves but claps in appreciation.
“Thank you, thank you, my fans!” Javier said doing a bow like those performers does after doing a show.
Ian rolled his eyes.
“Show off!” He grumbles silently.
“Javier that was nice but why are you so happy this morning? Please, tell me I can use some good news this morning!” Aurora said.
“Ask your friend” was all he said before he whistles his way towards his room.
“Huh?” Aurora question herself.
*Could it be……* She swallowed her thought.
“Let’s go, Angel” Ian said.
She nods and they continued their way out, they stopped right in front of Ian’s car.
“I really wanna drop you off”
“Dean, I’m not a baby, I know this city like the palm of my hand and I can find my way around”
“Whatever you say!”
“Good”
She went on tiptoe and crash her lips on his,,, she intended to make it a brief kss, but our General had something else in mind.
He grabs her head and deepens the kss, it wasn’t until a throat clearing was heard that he breaks the kss. He glares at the joy killer and find out it’s Brandon.
“Why is it always you?!” He growled lowly.
Brandon chuckles nervously.
“Sorry, sir but we are kinda running late”
“He’s right, Dean”
Ian humphed and removes his hand from her.
“Whatever!”
Brandon stretches his mask to him, he takes it grumpily and enters his car, he closes the door in a loud bang. Aurora smile at his childish behavior and calls it “cute”
“Have a nice day at work!” She wish him.
“Thanks, Angel” Ian said before winding up as the car start moving.
“Oh, and I pray you make more money cause baby, I’m gonna spend a lot today” she called after the car.
She thought Ian didn’t hear her but he did and shake his head smiling.
“Spend as you like, there’s more than enough money for you” replied mostly to himself cause he knows she won’t hear him.

When Dean’s car is out of sight, I head back inside. My stomach growls loudly and I remember I need food, I head straight to the kitchen to get something in my stomach.
I open the fridge and take out two apples, I wash them and slice them on a plate. I sat on a stool next to the counter and begin to eat the apples.
Then my phone rings, it’s Britt, I quickly answer it.
“Hey, girlfriend!”
“Hey, Rora, I saw your message”
“Yeah, I tried calling you but it kept going on voicemail”
I hear her scoff,,,,, angrily?.
“That’s what you get for failing at your promise!”
Oh boy! It just clicked in my memory,,, I was supposed to sleep over at Britt’s.
Dmn you Dean!
“I’m sorry, chica, but something came up and I couldn’t make it”
“Something came up? You mean staying in bed all night with the General came up?”
“Kinda?”
“Humph! Leave your explanation for later,,, I will meet you at the mall by 3pm, I’m getting off duty early today”
“Wow, that is super nice!”
“Yeah, and I also have some good news for you”
“Good news?”
“Yep, but don’t even try to persuade me to tell you on phone, I will tell you face to face”
I remembered what Javier said. “Your friend will tell you”
“Ok, looking forward to it”
“Miss Luca, director Jeff is looking for you” I hear someone tell her on the other side.
I guess a co-intern or a nurse.
“Oh, I gotta go, my director is looking for me”
“Ok, see you later!”
We hang up and I keep my phone on the counter and continue munching on the apples.
I know they’re not gonna satisfy me but I’m feeling quite lazy to cook.
“Phoebe?” I hear Mrs Morgan’s voice from behind me.
I quickly turn around with a smile but it falters when I saw her sad expression. I stand up and offer her the chair, she shakes her head and made me sit back down.
“Mom, you look worried,,,,, no sad. Is everything alright?”
She sighs and look at my face closely and she seems to be recalling something, then she breaks into a sad smile.
I frown in confusion, what is happening? I questioned myself.
“You look so much like her, she’d be so proud if she saw how beautiful you’ve grown up to be” she mutters sorrowfully.
I knew instantly she was talking about my mom,,,, but why bring up the past is something I want to know.
“Mom, are you ok?”
“No, dear,,,, I’m not ok and very soon you won’t be ok either”
I became more confused,,, what is she talking about.
“Mom,,,,”
“Let’s meet at Melina’s by 12pm, I have something very important to tell you”
“Huh?”
“Yes, you are my only hope,,, you are the only one to help me save my family”
“Mom, what are you talking about?”
“You’ll know by 12” then she leaves hurriedly with her eyes turning red as if she wants to cry.
I stand alone in the kitchen wondering what is happening? Why am I the only one to save her family? And what am I gonna save them for?.
Well, I know since I step foot inside this mansion, I’m not gonna come out alive. I just hope I can get a clue from what she has to tell me later.

|| Ian/Dean ||
“General”
“Good morning, General”
“Welcome, General”
They all greet as I step into my company, I ignore them as usual and head straight to my private elevator.
After a long ride, I arrived at my floor. I step out of the elevator and head to my office, I slot in my key card and enter.
“Good morning, General” my PA greets as he rushes in, bumping into Brandon.
I glared at him through my mask and he quickly bowed his head.
“What’s my schedule for today?!”
“Oh, nothing much sir, you only have lunch with Mrs Danny”
“Mrs Danny?”
“Yes, sir, her husband couldn’t make it so he sent her instead”
If not for the contract they want to sign I wouldn’t want to have lunch with someone else’s wife,,,,but this is business and I don’t joke with it.
My woman is a money lover,,, she’s deeply in love with money that I sometimes get jealous,,,,so I must work harder to meet all her needs.
“Ok, you can leave Josh” I dismiss him.
“Thank you, sir” he leaves.
I see the paperworks heaped on the table, waiting for me,,, I push them aside. I will go through them later.
“General, the spy is with the security team, should I ask them to bring him in?” Brad asked.
“Yes!” He nods and steps out.
*********
Few minutes later, Brandon strode in. Soon a guy was roughly pushed in, cuffs in his hands.
“General, this is the spy” one of the security guards report.
I gave him a stiff nod and dismissed him, he and the other security guards steps out.
“Raise your head!!” I commands the spy but he doesn’t comply.
Brandon slaps the back of his head and he quickly look up.
“When the General ask you to do something, do it!!” Brandon growled in his face.
“What is his name?!” I asked Brad.
“Eric, sir”
“Eric, how dare you steal my sketch?! Who asked you to do it?!”
He doesn’t speak he remains silent, and even glare at me. How audacious of him, I smirk, I like people like him most.
They always make interrogation fun for me.
“Speak now or I will get the truth out of you by force!!”
He still doesn’t speak, my smirk grows wider. Brandon raised his hand to slap him but I signal him to stop.
“Take him back to the mansion and lock him up in the dungeon,,, I shall interrogate him later!”
“Yes, sir!”
Brandon grabs his hand and pulled him out roughly. So much fun waiting for me at home!
Something catches my gaze and I turn to it fully. On the wall by my left, there’s a big portrait of my Phoebe.
I got off my chair and run my fingers through the portrait, I nod in satisfaction, Brandon did a good job.
I had Brandon take a sneaky picture of my Phoebe and enlarge it and put it in my office, I thought this way I won’t miss her too much when I’m at work,,,, but who am I kidding.
I’m missing her even more now.
Maybe I should give her a call and find out what she is doing now. I fetched my phone from my suit pocket and dialed her number.
She picks after two rings.
“Hello, handsome” her sweet tiny voice said from the other side.
“Hey, Angel, I know I just left but I can’t help missing you already”
“Really? Please, don’t make me blush, it’s too early to blush”
I frown.
“Doesn’t blushing have time?”.
“Mine does, baby”
I shake my head,,, I wonder what her mother feed her when she was a baby.
“Well, I’m at the office now, what are you doing?”
“Nothing, I’m eating apples”
“Oh? Are there no proper meal?”.
“There’s but I’m on diet”
“Diet my foot! I want you to eat and get more flesh on you, you’re too skinny, Angel”
“You love me this way”
I smile.
“That I do”
I hear her giggle.
“I have to go, I have very busy schedule today. So we will talk later, bye love!”
“Wait,,,,,,,” and she hangs up.
I guess it’s just her portrait and I now.
